Slime Mod

Last Update: Jan 2, 2015 (MC 1.8.1)

Slime Mod output

This mod expands your F3 screen to indicate whether you're in a slime-spawning area. It takes both slime chunks and swamps into account, and also checks the height. In swamps, the mod will also tell you the effect of the lunar phase on the slime spawn rate. Additionally, it displays the numeric world seed in SSP.

Since Minecraft 1.6.1, there are two different versions of this mod:

Vanilla Mod (JAR Mod)

Only provides the functionality described above. Use this one if you don't want to install Forge. It does not work in SMP and it may cause conflicts with other mods that aren't explicitly supported (see download description). Unlike before 1.6.1, there will only be a single download which should work with or without any of the supported mods.

Forge Mod

This version can also be used in SMP. By default it will only react to swamp biomes. To enable slime chunk detection in SMP, you can either install this mod on the server as well (requires forge server), or manually set the seed in the config file (usually at .minecraft/config/chunkbase_slimemod.cfg).

When installed on a server, the mod will not expose the map seed. It will only tell the clients with this mod installed whether or not the chunks around them are slime chunks. Thus, you won't be able to see the map seed in SMP with this mod, even if it'srunning on the server.

Installation

Standard Mods (JAR Mods)

Unless labeled otherwise, all mods you can find on Chunk Base are JAR mods. To install them, you have to overwrite the contents of your Minecraft's jar file. Here are some step-by-step instructions using WinRAR (feel free to use any other capable archiving tool with a GUI):

Minecraft 1.6.1 and up (new launcher)

Download the mod

If you haven't done so already, start the official launcher to download the version of Minecraft you want to use (e.g., 1.6.1)

Third-party Launchers

You can also simplify the installation process by using a custom launcher like Magic Launcher. Depending on the launcher, you usually have to add the downloaded zip file as a mod.

Compatibility Versions

Mods labeled as compatibility versions make it possible to use the mod you downloaded here together with another mod, which would cause conflicts otherwise. They're essentially JAR mods as well, so follow the instructions for JAR mods in order to install them. Also, make sure to install the mod from here last. When using third-party launchers, you should be able to define the order in which the mods are loaded.

Forge Mods

You can install forge mods by simply copying the .zip or .jar file you downloaded to the "mods" folder of your minecraft installation. However, you need to have Minecraft Forge installed. For more information, please go to minecraftforge.net.
